What will happen if too much water move out of a cell?

It will Swell or shrink now, Osmisis is a speacial kind of diffusion and that it controls what comes in or out so DO NOT WORRY

Who was Rene dutrochet?

René Dutrochet was a French physiologist and anatomist who made significant contributions to the fields of plant physiology and cell biology. He is best known for his work on osmosis and the discovery of endosmosis and exosmosis. Dutrochet's research helped lay the foundation for our understanding of cellular processes.


What is a result of osmisis?

The result of osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in order to achieve an equilibrium. This process helps in maintaining proper water balance in cells and tissues.


Does food absorb light?

Food absorbs light, but it does NOT absorb pickle juice. The citric Acid in the pickles cause the plant to wilt, which osmisis it needed to heal like a band-aid. That is why I hate Cody. <3


Examples of osmosis?

Plants absorb water from the soil through osmosis, moving water molecules from areas of low solute concentration (soil) to areas of high solute concentration (plant roots). Red blood cells regulate their water content through osmosis, allowing water to move in and out of the cell to maintain a balanced internal environment. In the kidney nephrons, osmosis plays a crucial role in the reabsorption of water and certain ions from the filtrate back into the bloodstream.


What are the chemical properties of reverse osmosis?

None. Reverse osmisis is a physics problem not a chemical one. It is simply sieving water through a very very fine sieve. So fine that unless you use very high pressures the water would not go through. The sieve is so fine that large molecules, like Salt (NaCl) don't fit through.


Through which plant cells does water move by capillary action?

Water moves through the xylem cells in plants by capillary action. Xylem cells are specialized to conduct water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. The cohesion and adhesion properties of water molecules allow them to travel efficiently through the xylem tissue.
